Can anyone identify this mushroom?  My husband and I have never seen anything like it and just noticed it today.  We live in the middle of Michigan if that helps; Gratiot County.  It's just the strangest mushroom we've ever seen.

I had a similar mushroom coming up in my yard in the fall. I took it to a local mycological society meeting and found out its name and that it is edible. Been enjoying eating them since.
